Hard hat tour reveals X-Flight trains to adrenaline junkies
Posted
It was gorgeous, it was windy, it was muddy, and it was completely worth it. Six Flags Worlds of Adventure gave members of coaster clubs a great chance to get up close and personal with the park's new Flying Dutchman. The park also revealed a sneak peak at the trains for the coaster as well as the addition of three flat rides to a planned boardwalk themed area between the former Sea World and the existing "Wild Rides" portion of Six Flags.
You can come along with us as we get all muddied up and educated on the doings with X-Flight and the rest of the park, including the first (to my knowledge at least) available pictures of the coaster's simply awesome looking trains.

I can't wait to ride this thing come June. Man, it already looks WAY better than Stealth. I can't wait to compare. ;) Nice looking coaster. Peace. :)

Awesome write-up and cool web site, Chip! Thanks for the update, X-Flight is looking good.
I'm wondering if the rise into and drop out of the "horseshoe turn" is steeper than Stealth's. This was just about my favorite part of Stealth, I hope they made it even better. And the recline up the lift will be hella cool too.
Was any mention made of the opening date for X-Flight? The park' season starts 5/5, right?

With all the work lights around that station area, it looks like they're pulling allnighters to get this thing ready by opening. If not, it'll be close.

Great pics. Can't wait to ride next year...
(I'm being hopeful...that's considering my other enthusiast buddy (IntaminAGfan) gets his level 2 liscense by May next year.)

I pledge defiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republicans, which I can't stand, one nation, under smog, indespicable, with liberty for just us, not all.
Awesome,Just Awesome, I am still drolling at those train pictures still and the Helix looks like something to die for:) Also its final, I am definatly spending 2 days at SFO when I visit in June because of this coaster, I may even spend half of one day on This Coaster.
June just cant come soon enough, I really cant wait to ride this

GREEAT report! I can't wait to get on X-Flight! By the way, since WoA will now be home to a boardwalk, does that mean that CP will cancel theirs? CP always brings original rides and attractions, nothing similar to neighboring parks. Will that throw a kink into CP 2002?
The casino and scrambler are just old rides that they took out of GL and put in to storage, right? The swinging ship is the only "new to the park" ride if I'm not mistaken.

I refuse to add a signature. Damn, too late.

I'm as excited about riding X-Flight as anyone else, but I heard it will *not* be ready for opening day. This really chaps my behind as they seemed to be moving rather well on it. I'm coming from Illinois to ride this thing, and now I'm hearing it most likely will not be done. Ahh, the disappointments of coastering.
It's not like I won't have fun riding the three biggies from last year and Big Dipper, but I'll still be saddened that I won't get to ride this one. Looks like I'll have to wait til June to fly on X-Flight.
Here's to hoping the person I spoke with was wrong about X-F late opening.
